Hi all,
Can any of you recommend an interactive social emotional curriculum that would work well in an after school program for 2nd-5th grade students and provide structured interventions/ideas for both classroom teachers and parents?
Thank you.

Checking with my coworker/team-mate and will get back to you if I find something :-) Great question!
I have developed a K-12 Social Emotional Curriculum. Check out my YouTube channel and website:

Go to YouTube and type in GCSCORED. You will see several videos, amongst them is the CSS product description video. Check it out. Contact me for details. Ylarrier@gcscored.com.

Incredible Years http://www.incredibleyears.com/ and Too Good for Drugs https://toogoodprograms.org/ are both evidence based programs that provide social and emotional learning activities. Both programs have in-school and out-of-school components.
You may want to check out The Center for Mind-Body Medicine trainings, we have a number of school-based faculty who use the childrenâs version of our work as a core of social emotional learning in the schools that they work at... I could put you in touch with one of them if you wanted to hear more. Puppets are a highly effective part of it...
We are using this across all grades by classroom teachers in the elementary school I work in:
As a former health teacher I would recommend a comprehensive health education program that incorporates lessons at all levels. Here is a curriculum that I have worked with that has social emotional lessons and is skill building based.

If you are in Michigan the curriculum is free and training is provided by regional coordinators that are trainers on this curriculum.
Trauma Smart is a comprehensive model for serving early education through elementary grades. I am happy to talk with you about the program. My email is jjacobs-kenner@saint-lukes.org. The website also has a lot of information. TraumaSmart.org
please check out our resources at www.hazelden.org/atodprevention, Happy to answer any questions you might have!
I'm following this thread. I teach at a high needs K-2 school and am just beginning to explore how my understanding of trauma and the impacts on learning can help my students manage their emotions and improve their learning outcomes. I would love to find a ready-made, kid friendly program that doesn't require a lot of prep work for me because I don't have time to make a lot of things. Having found this community has provided me with tools that I am taking back to my school and sharing with my teacher community. Thank you for the suggestions and help.
